Prybloxx has a relatively straightforward costing system.The manufacturing cost for each size and style of brick depends partly on the brick’s size andthe number of units that are required. Each mould for the injection-moulding process costsapproximately V$50,000 to make and lasts for up to one million impressions before it starts tolose its precision. Moulds for smaller bricks can have multiple chambers that enable severalidentical bricks to be moulded in each cycle. Larger items, such as base plates, are mouldedindividually.The overall cost of each kit includes costs other than the bricks:• Packaging is expensive because kits are sold in good quality cardboard boxes that areprinted in full colour.• Distribution is expensive because the most cost-effective way to manufacture Prybloxx’slarge product range is to make each kit in bulk and then store it until it is sold. When thekits are finally shipped they are not particularly heavy, but they do occupy a great deal ofvolume.• Character Kits require the payment of a royalty at the time of manufacture.
